The reason why people feel such pleasure when taking drugs is because drugs also affect the limbic system, which controls our emotional responses(like feeling pleasure). This can progress because when people take drugs and start to do it regularly, it trains their brain to develop a dependency on the drug. ]]> 2017-06-11 01:54:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kvu108/idvuobqo7vy5/wish/175973567 LSD(Lysergic Acid Diethylamide) kvu108 https://padlet.com/kvu108/idvuobqo7vy5/wish/175973579 Description:
